The first dynamic EQ plug-in from Solid State Logic, X-DynEQ has been added to the SSL Complete range of plug-ins in VST2, VST3, AAX and AU formats. Building on the X-EQ 2 Plug-in, X-DynEQ is billed as ‘the definitive tool for dynamic equalisation during recording, mixing and mastering’.
X-DynEQ is the most advanced EQ plug-in dso far developed by Solid State Logic and represents the ultimate EQ tool available in a DAW. The plug-in promises a ‘transparent and musical result’, maintaining clarity, dynamics/transients, and balance in the mix while addressing specific frequency issues. When nodes are switched to dynamic mode Attack, Release and Threshold parameters become active. When not in dynamic mode, X-DynEQ is a fully featured parametric EQ offering precision, control and high sound quality.
X-DynEQ features 20 different EQ types and filter shapes with dynamic EQ options for each shelf or bell filter, offering up to 24 dynamic EQ bands for detailed sound sculpting. Three filter types are available – Notch, Bandpass, and Tilt EQ – each designed for targeted frequency shaping from precise fixes to broad tonal balancing. X-DynEQ also offers flexible sidechain capabilities. Sidechain dynamic nodes from the internal or external sidechain of any other node/band for precision EQing, repair work, and creative effects.
Originally developed for the X-EQ 2, X-DynEQ features a significantly enhanced version of the ‘node-based’ user interface. Users double-click to create nodes and can use the keyboard and mouse wheel shortcuts to alter parameter values easily. Each Node can access any of X-DynEQ’s filter types and offers per-band stereo, left, right, mid or side signal processing. Users can quickly switch the Focus mode to concentrate on certain components of the stereo field, such as just the mid or side information. To further enhance workflow, X-DynEQ’s piano roll view allows the matching of EQ frequencies to musical tones. SSL’s anti-cramping EQ technology and optional HQ mode provide a high-accuracy EQ response with dynamic oversampling.
